Is this about Kiki?

Once you retire, you will be too old and unhealthy to enjoy it.

If you live in America, then one health crisis has the possibility of eating up all of your retirement savings, and the longer you live, the more likely you'll end up dying destitute.

Retirement... savings...? What language is this?

I know those words, but I’ve never seen them in this order before. What does it mean?

My retirement plan is dying 10 years before retirement age

Dying old and sick on the streets, that's what the american dream is all about no?

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I liberate the company's time.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Boss makes a million, I make a buck. That's why I jerk it in the company truck.

I have to admit, it feels like I have much more free time now then during studies. Now I finish my 8 hours and I do not have to worry about nothing. No assignments, no tests, no thesis... I even had the opposite problem, what should I do during the evening.

Let me introduce to you: part time jobs

But I like time and money both.

That's the beauty about part-time jobs: you only get part of the money part of the time!

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 9 points 1 day ago

I have literally never seen a part time job that paid a livable wage.

They're usually shittier pay per hour than a full job and I've no idea why.

Suspiciously 86-percent-of-my-income shaped landlord: hello

I'm trying to find a part-time job for that exact reason, but it's really tough to find one. I mean, it's tough to find a job in general at the moment, but the part-time requirement makes it even tougher. And like the other person said, it's always a compromise between time and money, and not everybody can make such a compromise because they genuinely need a full-time salary.
